Ted Poe introduced a proposal to freeze American aid to Pakistan until it shows that it had no knowledge of bin Laden's whereabouts.

"It seems unimaginable that Osama bin Laden was living 1,000 yards away from a military base in a million-dollar mansion built especially for him and no one in the Pakistani government knew about it. I don’t buy it."]]>http://blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2011/05/ted-poe-introduces-legislation-that-would-freeze-aid-to-pakistan-if-leaders-knew-bin-laden-was-there/feed/09363
